Jakarta — Danantara Investment Management has announced plans to launch 10 to 11 new projects in 2026, signaling a bold expansion in both domestic and international markets. CIO Pandu Sjahrir emphasized that the initiatives are currently in preparation and will be unveiled soon, reflecting strong public expectations.
The company has earmarked US$10 billion in investments for Q4 2025, with 80% allocated domestically and the remainder abroad. This distribution underscores Danantara’s dual strategy: strengthening Indonesia’s economic base while positioning itself in global markets.
Among the flagship projects are the development of a “Kampung Haji” in Saudi Arabia, upstream energy ventures with Pertamina, and a nationwide waste-to-energy (WTE) program. The Kampung Haji project aims to create an integrated ecosystem for pilgrims, combining facilities with opportunities in food, fashion, tourism, pharmaceuticals, and Islamic finance.
The WTE initiative is particularly ambitious, targeting 33–34 cities across Indonesia. A tender process involving 24 global companies has already begun in seven cities, marking the first step toward large-scale implementation of sustainable energy infrastructure.
From a governance perspective, these projects highlight Indonesia’s evolving role in global infrastructure. By integrating religious tourism, energy, and sustainability, Danantara is positioning itself as a key player in shaping both domestic policy and international cooperation.
Ultimately, Danantara’s 2026 roadmap reflects more than corporate ambition. It is a case study in how investment strategies can align with governance priorities, national identity, and global infrastructure trends — a narrative that resonates far beyond Indonesia’s borders.
